Yields30 Servings
Prep Time10 minsCook Time15 minsTotal Time25 mins
Ingredients
 1 ½ cups activated almonds (see separate recipe)
 ½ cup butter, softened
 1 cup arrowroot
 ½ cup rapadura
 ½ tsp sea salt

 1 tsp ground cinnamon
 ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
 ¼ tsp ground cloves
Method
1

Preheat oven to 150C.

2

Place almonds in food processor and process to a fine meal.

3

Mix almond meal with all remaining ingredients until well blended.

4

Form dough into walnut-sized balls and place on buttered oven trays. (I use the wrap from the butter to grease the tray.)

5

Place in the oven and bake for 5 mins. Remove and use a fork to press down lightly on each ball.

6

Return to the oven. Bake a further 10-15 mins until lightly golden.

Store in the fridge or freezer. They are delicious straight out of the freezer as nuts do not freeze too firmly!
